Actor Fred "The Hammer" Williamson opened up about a contentious episode involving late soul singer Bill Withers, dating back to when Williamson was filming with actress Denise Nichols, who was dating Withers. Williamson revealed Withers had become suspicious and antagonistic because Nichols was working on location with Williamson. Withers, mistakenly believing the actress and her co-star were having an affair, broke into her hotel room, causing Williamson to have to intervene. It is also suggested that the song by Withers entitled "Who Is He (And What Is He To You)?" may have drawn from the tension of this incident. Williamson, however, would not confirm if the song was about him, simply noting that the lyrics do reflect the encounter.
